Further, buildings such as this generally eliminate those dreaded interior round or square support columns found in glass clad buildings.

Good point.
Walked past the X today & noticed that the beam of the corner unit really throws the deco off; IMO anyways.

what do you mean ? why would anyone not adore like these lovely columns blocking the corner windows ?? 
LOL
I totally agree with your thoughts dt, shelfun & greenleaf ... while floor to ceiling windows are nice, the thought of having those 'support columns' intruding into the suite turns me off ~ I personally like to enjoy views from an unobstructed corner window

U R quite the funny one...
I wonder how many owners with the "support column" units will paint the columns with funky colors or even create some kind of a "art" to make it a "focal point"...

West view. Seems like they are "sealing" the windows (am guessing)

Glass on the ground floor should be going in soon, they already have the framing up.
Any word on when the sales center is moving in?

Picture taken 6th Sept noon
Long weekend. There are usually some work done during Saturdays but not this week.
There are very little progress but still worth a couple of pictures; I feel.
In the pictures you'll notice the 33rd floor has got the window frames up but no actual windows yet.
Ceilings are being "done" (either stippled or smooth) up to 10th floor.
Frames up, ready for glass panels.

The next round of pictures will be on Thur unless there are significant progress on Tue.
Hope all of you had a lovely long weekend so far.

Hi there, more pictures as "promised".
Windows are mainly completed upto 33rd floor. 34th floor as "special windows" & it has been delivered today. "Met" the vendor of the windows & he said all the windows will have to be completed by end of the month; including those on the townhouse/loft.
The guys by the parked car delivered the windows.
South side of the ground floor "units" next to the "construction elevators".
Worker closing door of ground floor South West corner unit. They painted the door "greyish". Was white before. What do you think of the color?
South view. Almost all the windows are done up to 33rd except 2 panels.
West view. All windows are done up to 33rd floor.
North view.
Sout East view. Notice only the ceiling of 26th floor balcony is not done. WHY?
North East view. Only the windows for North East corner unit missing on the 33rd floor.
That's all the pictures for today.
Frames for drywall are up to 18th floor. Drywalls are up to 15th floor. Unfortunately, I can't see the progress of the ceilings in the unit. Sun was too glaring.
